What Witches Do

by Stewart Farrar

Published June 1973
This is an excellent behind-the-scenes description of what witches really do. It describes the ancient rituals in a candid and comprehensive way as seen through the eyes of a practicing witch and member of an active coven. In this account, the author explores the fundamental beliefs and symbology of Witchcraft, presenting the time-honored texts of its rituals and invocations, and describing exactly what happens as his own coven's esbats (meetings), sabbats (festivals), and handfasting (marriage) ceremonies. Stewart Farrar also outlines the way witches raise and apply psychic power to release the forces of healing and protection, etc. With intimate and entertaining revelations, this practical guide to witchcraft describes a rich and joyous religion.

The ethical way to perform healing spells, love spells, weather spells, sex magic, and more--from the authors of A Witches' Bible.

This book covers all aspects of spell-making--including psychic self-defense, sex magic, cabalistic magic, and talismans. There is a generous collection of actual spells, past and present, drawn from history, literature, folklore, old grimoires, and the years of experience of the authors, respected Wiccans and leaders in the pagan world.
